Basketball. Boxing. Review

We are past the middle of summer. In about 3 weeks it will be back to school again. The good thing is, kids are back in class like how they should be.

Our summer was very slow. After all my chores, we just spent our days logged on the internet. In between our zombie-like obessession to our phones, we do a bit of boxing, a bit of review and a lot of basketball.

Boxing was done maybe 15minutes 2-3 a week. Liam is the only one left doing this. Kenzo gave up on it after just about 3 weeks. We review past school modules for 15-30 minutes a day just to warm up our brains. It is nothing of big it just to solve a few easy math questions. I am happy that they both willingly choose to review inspite of being on vacation.

Basketball is a different beast. They love the shoot around, playing basketball a lot. If it is not raining they dont miss a practice day. For some reason, they enjoy playing a lot. I often will ask them to cut their game for a few minutes early but they almost dont want to stop. Basketball games often last for 1 – 1.5 hrs 7 days a week.

Summer was a big load off my shoulder. It is relaxed and slow that I am kinda scared of starting another school year again.

The Past Year.

Last school year was the most exhausting ever. I literally have only a few moments to sit back. I have to start the day by making breakfast at 6am, clean, wash dishes, laundry, feed the dog and finish everything before the school starts at 8am. 8am to 11am will be juggling study, review, checking seatworks and teaching the 2 kids. 11am I have to cook lunch, eat, wash dishes and take a 40minute nap. 1pm will be the start of schhol again until 4pm. 4pm will be my time to clean the house, bathroom, floors. 5pm to 6pm is the only time I can really breathe in before I start cooking dinner at 6pm. From 6am to 730Pm everyday, 5 days a week.

Weekends was a bit relaxed. Cook breakfast at 630am, clean the house, wash dishes, laundry etc and I got to rest by 9am. I can either stay at home or use the 3hrs to go to the mall. after taking a nap, from around 3pm to 6pm, I have to open the books, notes and prepare the lessons for next week.

I have only a few hours of rest. Whew!

When the school ended, I really collapsed and just not do anything.
